Amanda Stepto: Christine 'Spike' Nelson

Quotes 

• Christine 'Spike' Nelson : How could you do that, Emma? How could you do something so incredibly stupid?

  Emma : I made a mistake.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : A mistake? You could have been... you could have been killed.

  Emma : You've never made a mistake before? Like maybe having me?

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : It's not the same thing.

  Emma : I screwed up. I'm a dumb kid.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : No, you're not dumb. That's what's so confusing. You kept this guy a secret for eight months. Why didn't you tell me? You know you can talk to me about anything.

  Emma : No, I can't! You're my mom, don't you get it? You don't remember what it's like being twelve! You don't remember anything!

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Actually, I do. Em, will you remember one thing? Even when you hate my guts, I'll always try to listen and I'll try to understand, but we've got to keep talking, ok? I love you. More than everything else in the world, ok?

  Emma : Mommy, I was so scared.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : I know you were, baby. I know.
